That's why I stopped buying video games when the Nintendo 64 went obsolete, and switched back to Spiderweb games. Any one of Spiderweb's games has more replay value than any 100 Nintendo games combined. I still occasionally play a couple Nintendo games if I get bored enough, though, but mainly in an emulator for the original 8-bit (remember that one?).

Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Tuesday, October 10 2006 10:41 Profile Homepage #9 How dare you! Blizzard may have tried to erase any evidence that this game ever existed, but there are still sites out there devoted to it. Behold its greatness. Sort of looks like Halo just with Starcraft characters. How could that not have been awesome? Then there is Fallout 3, which could have been the greatest game ever, but it was abandoned because the company went bankrupt or something. Cruel fate. Zelda is the only game in this thread that sucks. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

Those are words that should be neither spoken nor written. Ever. Fallout 3 was not abandoned. Bethesda is carrying the torch, although it's not yet entirely clear whether they're carrying it forward or just waving it around excitedly until it goes out. —Alorael, who has had his very first Gamecube experience quite recently.

Emperor Tullegolar Shaper Member # 7420	written Tuesday, October 10 2006 11:47 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by Alorael: Fallout 3 was not abandoned. No matter how much we keep telling ourselves this, whatever Bethesda churns out, if anything at all, will probably be a huge disappointment to fans of the originals. I am reminded of what happened last time the third game in a series was placed in the hands of a random company rather than the one that gave it life and nurtured it to greatness. Myth III is not even recognized by the Myth community of having ever even existed. It is considered non-canonical and its multilayer is neglected in favor of the outdated Myth II. I see dark times for the Fallout franchise ahead. Andraste: I don't think a Starcraft sequel is necessary. I think the expansion pack ending was the best way they could possibly have ended the series. Unless, of course, you’d rather that the ‘good guys’ make a daring attack on the Queen of Blades, end her reign of tyranny and save the galaxy as we know it. Wouldn’t that be original?

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, October 10 2006 12:25 Profile Homepage #13 Myth 3 is politely ignored because Myth 2 is a better game. Maybe that has to do with Myth 3 being the work of a new company, Myth 2 setting the bar so fantastically high (Fallout does it too), and some poor aesthetic decisions. Bethesda has at least said that it wants to produce a Fallout-like Fallout. Maybe they won't succeed, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't cost anything, and they've been able to produce apparenly good games. —Alorael, who has actually never played any Elder Scrolls games and therefore cannot comment. Oblivion at least generates lots and lots of gaming press. Strong opinions are better than no opinions, and if all else fails the two factions of Fallout 3 lovers and Fallout 3 haters can call each other mutants and start using improbably large weapons to deal with each other.

In Broodwar we learn about the zerg/protoss hybrid at the end. They need to do something with that and the Xel'Naga.

I am interesting, however, in who Duran was working for. Xel'Naga: Extinct. Destroyed by the Zerg. I don't think they will ever play a part in the series. World of Starcraft: First of all, World of Warcraft will never run dry. At least, not unless Black Isle Studios is resurrected, most likley by me, who would then spearhead World of Fallout, in which case World of Warcraft is doomed. Other than that, I just can't see a Starcraft MMORPG happening. Blizzard has more integrity than that. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 \| Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00

Don't you realize that the annual Force of Habit Sale is going on right now? This could be the time when you finally purchase Nethergate for $27, or the Geneforge Trilogy for $49.50. It seems individual games are only $22.50, and the hint books are $9. Basically, everything is 10% off, including my sanity and better judgement. Get webbed! :) Edit - Yes, thanks for asking.

We're pretty agitated right now, what with all of the work that needs to be done to finish Geneforge 4: Rebellion and kick it out the door for the holidays. But that doesn't mean we can't hold one of those sales we enjoy having so much ... * Spiderweb Software's Force of Habit Sale We at Spiderweb Software are simple people. Creatures of habit. It takes a lot of work and concentration to make fun role-playing games year in and year out, and we just can't work up the energy for cool marketing ideas. So, every year, we just have the same old sale and hope that it makes people like us more. So, for the whole month of October, we are having our Force of Habit Sale! Everything we sell, the games, the hint books, the bundles, it's all ten percent off. The stuff that's on sale is now more on sale. The award-winning Avernum and Geneforge games, all on the cheap! Not only that, but all of our games are available on CD. Think of it! Get the holiday shopping for your gamer friends done early! As always, you can find all of the fun at http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com Big, free demos of all of our games are available. And hopefully you can forgive us for being so predictable. * Geneforge 4: Rebellion Out Soon Development of Geneforge 4: Rebellion is proceeding swiftly. It appears that the game will be out for the Macintosh in November, 2006, and out for Windows 2-3 months after that. Of course, the flu, earthquakes, and other disasters can happen, but that's what we're shooting for. If you want to learn more about Geneforge 4: Rebellion, go to http://www.spidweb.com/geneforge4/index.html * Macintosh Universal Plans We've been getting reports of our games sometimes playing slowly on Macintoshes with the fancy, new Intel chips. We are working on isolating which games have problems and getting Universal versions of them out in early 2007. That's it for this short update. You'll hear from us again when Geneforge 4: Rebellion is out. Want To Unsubscribe From This List? - Just respond and say so.

demonslay3r Guardian Member # 2238	written Tuesday, October 10 2006 19:12 Profile Homepage #23 Fallout3 is currently under development over at Bethesda. Don't expect it for a while, though. Also, I don't think it's fair to call the Wii version of the new Zelda a "port". I can assure you Nintendo cares more about the Wii than the GC right now. Starcraft2 isn't here because even Blizzard knows they can't realistically top the original. But I think we'll eventually see it, in many, many years. And Starcraft: Ghost, last I heard, actually is in "development" (I use that term the same way 3dRealms uses). Apparently they felt it would be released too late in the last-gen's life, and wanted it to be up-to-snuff for the next-gen consoles. But I don't care. I'm not interested in another 3rd-person sneaker/shooter, at least within the Starcraft universe. -------------------- DEMON PLAY, DEMON OUT!
